Failing CSS hacks in IE7

The much awaited Internet Explorer 7 browser has now been out for a while and my stats show that up to 30% of IE browser users have upgraded to version 7. The gap between Firefox and IE will probably be bridged and it seems the new IE will do a much better job than its predecessors. I had, however, been quite mad at IE7 since its release because it was making some of my IE6 CSS hacks fail; I couldn’t install IE7 on my laptop to work on those issues - not wanting to loose IE6 as my main testing platform - and had to bite my tongue. Well, my nails.

Then today I found this very clever way to run IE7 as a standalone browser WITHOUT loosing IE6. The trick isn’t perfect and some features don’t work, but for compatibility testing purposes, it’s a miracle. So I got back to my failing CSS hacks; the main problem seemed to be with the famous !important trick. Researching the issue, I came across an article mentioning that if IE7 now recognizes !important correctly, all IE version still ignore !anything. I had my new hack; I replaced all my !important by !ie7hack and we’re back to normal. Cheap trick, but eh!

So for those of you using IE7, the blog’s main menu is now back. Alleluya!

    « Note to self: Vince, after re-reading all this I must tell you, you’re not making any sense. Yeah, I know. Well if you know, why don’t you change it? Because I don’t know how to phrase it different. I thought you knew. I do. You just said you don’t. I do that I don’t. I see. You do? Yeah. Good. But I still think you’re not making sense. I see. You know what? What? Oh, nothing. I don’t know if that’s an acceptable answer. Forget it. Forget what? Nothing. You see, you’re not making sense either. I know, it’s your fault. It’s always my fault; next time I’ll skip the blog post altogether. Well, in fact it’s IE’s fault. Yeah, Firefox is the way to go. I know. You do? Yeah. So why on Earth do you say I’m not making sense? »
